Malin Ekman wrote that a plumber had saved a passenger plane from crashing after the co-pilot had stabbed the captain. She argued that the world needed such civil courage, but that society no longer encouraged it. Ekman claimed that society had instead stopped nurturing virtuous men and women and focused on moral ideas that she believed did not hold up when tested. She described men who were publicly accepted as those who conformed to prevailing norms, took up less space, criticized what she called their "toxic" brothers, and voted like their partners – or pretended to do so. She further claimed that men had become more like women when they were allowed to be less traditionally masculine, and that they had particularly embraced traits that she described as less flattering and classically feminine. According to Ekman, this was especially true for men in public. She referred readers to Sveriges Radio. #civilkurage #moral #samhälle (translated)
